It looks like they have KMZ files for the newer Garmins and the old color map for older Garmins. Is your Garmin old or new and which map are you trying to load?

Hate to say it but I've been using the 2013 map for the last 3 years... it doesn't change that much and too lazy to load a newer one.

Hey Guy's,
Could you add the link for the map to a post?
Thanks

Haven't tried loading it to the garmin yet, but was having trouble downloading it to google earth the other day.

I could get the pdf maps no problem, but Garmin and Google wouldn't work. I just cleaned everything out of my Montana and wanted to start fresh. Worse case I put 2015 back in. It is a fed site so the glitches are to be expected  ;)

My google earth worked fine, but micro soft would not recognize the GPS file. I opened google earth for the Spearfish area and noticed about 50 to 60% of the trails are missing.
